There is this man whom his house is just two poles away from a cemetery.
He then capitalises on that to always pretend to be a spirit whenever he boards a taxi or a tricycle and gets to the gate of the cemetery and stops.
He would gets off and walks towards the gate of the cemetery. Once the driver asks him for his fare, he would rolls his eyeballs round in their sockets and pretends to be a spirit. If the driver is the type who is not afraid, he would say to him, "Are you not afraid of the spirits? Do you want to collect money from the spirit?"
The driver would automatically becomes afraid and drives off. Then, one day, he boarded a taxi that was driven by an elderly man. As soon, the taxi got to the front of the cemetery, he told him to stop him. As soon, the taxi stopped, he jumped down and walked off towards the cemetery gate.
The driver came down and ran after him and the following dialogue ensued between them.
DRIVER: Oga where is my money? You haven't paid me.
PASSENGER: Which money? Are you not afraid of the spirits? Do you want to collect money from a spirit? Do you want to die?
DRIVER: Oh, so you are one of us! I believed you just came in when l was away. Lets go so that l can allocate a room to you. You see, as a new spirit, let me lecture you on our rules here.
I died about ten years ago. Every seven years, we hold election to select who allocates rooms to those who just died. And l am the current person.
You see, l went to town to collect something. Many spirits are waiting for me to allocate rooms to them. Four men who died in a motor accident just came in before l left.
One elderly woman who died from stroke also came in. Addition to that, two twins who died when they were being giving birth to also came. That is nice. So what killed you?
Lets go so that l will join you to the others and allocate rooms to you all the new spirits.
PASSENGER: Who do you want to allocate room to?
Abi you nor well?
He be like say l don pretend jam rock O.
This man fit be original spirit O, nor be fake like me O
Dem nor dey really play wayo for wayo house O.
